1-1.5" max if you want to retain any ride quality and suspension travel.

www.sdori.comI've got them but don't have much info to report as I'm still working on my truck. I do have about 300 highway miles on mine. Since a t-bar crank will make your ride stiffer the BJ spacers are a pretty cheap way to get lift and keep your ride as smooth as it was before. I'd say give them a try.

Wear on the ball joints? Not really.
With the spacer, they are not really operating at a different angle than stock. Theoretically, they would have more torque on them due to the offset, but not enough to matter.
A t-bar lift will put more stress and steeper operating loads on everything involved due to the angles and the inherant preload conditions.
The only aspect I don't care for with the BJ(yeah, BJ) spacers, is the cutting of the upper a-arm. It's very little, but I just don't like to trim things like this.
Doesn't mean its bad though...Just an opinion.
